Description

A SLURRY REMOVAL APPARATUS
Field of the invention
This invention relates to an apparatus for removing slurry from a body of fluid such as, for example, flu d from a solvent extraction or eleetrowinn!ng/ electro-refining process.
Background! to. the invention
The accumulation, of solids in solvent extraction and elecirowlnnlrig processes as a settled bottom solids or a an interface of settled solids between the separated /' separating organic and aqueous phases is problematic as the solids must be removed in order for the processes: to continue operating effectively.
Various solids removal methods are currently being: used. Such methods - 'include the use of suction devices- thai use a positive displacement or centrifugal pump system to suck u the solids as a slurry.
A -drawback of thi process Is that the suction effec Is localized and the device must therefore be moved around continuously when covering large areas. In addition, the .use of pumps brings with it the cost of maintaining- same,- which can be. substantial " when wo ki g with slurries.
The use of suction devices as described above also brings with It the removal of large amounts of the actual process fluid, which Is not desirable and increases the cost of running the solvent extraction o eiectrowinning/ eiectrorefining processes.
Manual strainers have also been used to remove solids as a slurry from bodies of fluid but this is labour intensive and can be an occupational health risk, and results: in high levels of spillage and losses of process fluid, thereby Increasing process operating costs. The inventor therefore believes, that a need exists for providing an apparatus for collecting and removing solids as a slurry from a bod of fluid which overcomes at least some of the disadvantages of current slurry removal methods as described above.
